Microplebectomy is a treatment performed to remove large varicose veins through a minimally invasive procedure. This treatment is a good alternative to vein stripping. The procedure begins with an examination and ultrasound to map out the veins. Patients are given a local anesthetic to ensure no discomfort during the treatment.

Veins are permanently removed which provides optimal results. Very mild pain is expected afterwards. Patients should expect to take 1-2 days to recover, and also will be required to wear compression socks for the first 48 hours. Benefits from the Microplebectomy procedure include little risk, treatment in less than an hour, no scarring, and excellent clinical and cosmetic results.
